Gratuitous bump. đ
**BunnyGirl** has asked me to keep an eye on this thread, because she will be taking a short board break. However, ChickDope is still a go, and Bunny will most definitely be there. đ

Large groups? Heck, I thought that applied to just _one_. đ
âMission control, we are currently holding the countdown⌠there is a hair out of place and her butt looks just a little bit too big in that dress. Over.â

Well, we all know our lovely Doper Chicks have _absolutely perfect_ bodies, so this is not a real issue, but rather a minor perceptual problem caused by unrealistic societal female archetypes. The âMission Controlâ merely represents the inner dialogue of a hyperbolic, comedic, stereotypical mind, and thus by humor we can playfully address the larger, more serious issue of womenâs self-esteem in an increasingly superficial popular culture.

You are, of course, absolutely right.
How myopic, short-sighted and, well, just plain wrong of me!

Iâll be there. Youâll reconize me because Iâll be the male perched on a tree limb outside the window, taping the inevitible hot lesbo action.

Well, except youâve met me and you thus know that my overall glamour level is lower than this by about a factor of ten.
My list would be more like:
âHair brushed within the last 24 hours?â Erm, I think so.
âShoes actually match, on on the right feet?â Weâre a Go.
âNo toilet paper hanging off of shoes?â Check.
âChapstick on lips?â Yuppers.
âNo boogers hanging out of nostrils?â Ooh, wait, let me flick this one off with my pinky nailâokay, check.
âWearing pants?â Oh. Right. Hang on.

Girls, Iâm really sorry to say this, but it turns out I wonât be able to go.
Thatâs because my boyfriend was an angel and secretly bought us tickets to the Yitzhak Perlman concert in Detroit on the night of the 10th. Heâs coming to MSU in April, but I wasnât able to get tickets in time and was absolutely heartbroken, and the boy knew this.
Yitzhak Perlman LIVE is literally about the only thing on earth that would drag me away from this. Curse the guy who does his scheduling! Iâll be thinking of all of you as Iâm carried away to paradise to the tune of Vivaldi⌠đ

Bummer, **tsarina!** I was looking forward to seeing you again!
A Message From **BunnyGirl:** She has asked me to remind everyone to send her an email if you will be attending, and whether or not youâll be spending the night (that includes you gentlemen, **mrblue** and **manhattan** ). Her email is carls197@pilot.msu.edu.
And **Cranky:** Dang. I thought I was the only one who forgot to wear pants. đ

The doorbell rang a few minutes ago. I looked out the window and saw a FedEx truck in the driveway. Hmm, I thought, could it be? The driver handed me an envelope with my name on it. Inside, courtesy of our dear, dear **manhattan** , was my ticket to Detroit! He and I both arrive Friday morning, and we will be renting a car at DTW and meeting up with everybody some time or other.
Iâm bouncing in my chair right now. Woooooo **HOOOOOO**!!!

I believe I just read on the outlet site that weâll be there on âDeer Widowsâ Weekend!â
You know, weâll be there with the gals whose husbands are up hunting bambiâs mother.
